<?=$var?> is much much better then <?php echo $var ?> because it is shorter and gives a more readable code. And I am sure that more than a half of the PHP programmers can confirm that. <?php= $var ?> becomes very long too. The compatibility issue is quickly resolved by global replacing '<?=' with '<?php echo' so it is actually a minor problem.
